    Unhappy Really Need Help.

    to start i have an AMD Athlon 1.26 GHz (socket A) processor ( i am fairly certain) and my motherboard is a GA-7VAX-A (again i am very sure thats what it is) and i'm trying to see what new AMD processors can fit onto m motherboard. oh and one more thing...my graphics cards are 2x
    Radeon 9550 X 1050 (i hope thats written properly) and I would like to upgade that as well but i don't know where to begin on what will fit and such..

    any help would mean that you are a wonderful human being and there is a spot in heaven marked VIP and your name next to it!!!

    1st off welcome to the forums.

    Unfortunately you are not going to get very far on a socket A.That is about 3-4 generations old and you would be better off saving for a completely new rig.

    To reinforce the point, the CPU, memory standard and GPU standard have all changed since then. Many new boards don't even have IDE connectors or only one, and no floppy connectors. Other than mouse, keyboard and screen, there is very little you can carry over to a new build.
